It has a natural ecological environment conducive to coffee growth, coupled with the strong support of the government to the coffee industry and other reasons, Costa Rica has become one of the most important coffee growers in the world.

Tarrazu, the main coffee producer in Costa Rica.

Located in the south of the country's capital, SanJose, Tarasu is one of the most valued coffee growers in the country. LaMinitaTarrazu coffee is a local product, but the production is limited. It is grown on a piece of land called LaMinita, which is owned by the last three generations of the McAlpine family in the UK.

Tarrazu in Costa Rica is one of the major coffee producing areas in the world. The coffee produced is light and pure in flavor and pleasant in aroma. Costa Rica, with its fertile volcanic soil and good drainage, is the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas for commercial value. Coffee and bananas are the country's main exports. Coffee was introduced into Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729. Today, its coffee industry is one of the well-organized industries in the world, with a yield of 1700 kg per hectare. Costa Rica, with a population of only 3.5 million, has 400 million coffee trees, and coffee exports account for 25 per cent of the country's total exports. Costa Rica has also benefited from the establishment of the Central American Institute for Agricultural Research (IAAC) in Tarasu, which is an important international research centre.

Other coffees worth mentioning are JuanVinas,PR, H.Tournon, Windmill,SHB, Montebello and SantaRosa. Fine coffee is generally grown in Heredia and the central canyon. In addition, another kind of coffee is Sarchi (Saatchi is one of the five towns that represent the Coffee Road in Gosgarica), which grows on the slopes of the PoasVolcano volcano, 53 kilometers from San Jose.

The market for Costa Rican coffee:

Coffee exports account for 25% of Costa Rica's total exports. Costa Rica has also benefited from the establishment of the Central American Institute for Agricultural Research (TurrialbaoftheCentralAmericanAgriculturalResearchlnstitute, referred to as IAAC) in Tarasu, which is an important international research centre.

Costa Rica's coffee industry, originally controlled by the Costa Rican Coffee Industry Company (InstitutodelCafedeCostaRica, ICAFE), has been taken over by the official Coffee Committee (OficinadelCafe). Among the exported coffee, those products that are considered to be of substandard quality are colored with blue vegetable dyes and then transferred back to China for sale. Coffee consumed domestically (dyed blue or last dyed) accounts for about 10% of total production, and local per capita coffee consumption is twice that of Italy or the United States.

In addition, while Costa Rica has many advantages in growing coffee at higher elevations, the resulting additional transport costs must be taken into account, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size.
